In a big bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until combined.
Add the egg white and whip until smooth, then add the molasses.

Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough into 12 balls, and roll them in granulated sugar.
Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes, then allow to cool. These cookies freeze well after being baked.
Notes
*Blackstrap molasses has a stronger, more potent flavor than regular molasses, but if you can’t find it, feel free to use regular.
